I have to tell you I am a Ford guy. I have repowered my previous two boats with big power Fords.
I am having the boat built with 525 efi's. I wanted the rigging to be complete when I got it. There is a chance I will stay with that power but I am very inclined to build the mounting system for Fords and repower right away and sell the merc's as new.
I fabricate my own 4 point solid mounting system. The forward motor will be easy since I use marine (Merc?)bellhousings with the Borg-Warner bolt pattern. I have two fresh 572 inch, Robert Yates head engines in my Fountain right now (way too much power for that boat). I may use those and have Stellings headers built just like yours.
The big draw for the staggered engines was the room I could use to power with 572 inch Boss 429 engines. The headers are custom either way. Power difference would be minimal. It just the ultimate Ford expression for me.
If you noticed, I have port side steering and the starboard motor is forward.
I'll attach a picture of my current Ford engines.

I could have had right hand throttles with right side drive but that would have required the "wide version" cockpit which I did not like as well.
